wannahelp	Re: The "Tree" of WHAT?
	Here's another take on that story.. What if we weren't created by god, but evolved naturally like the rest of the living creatures on the earth? The difference that seperates us from the rest of the animals is that we can reason, and most importantly, we are aware of our own existence, and thus, are aware that we will eventually die.. Is it possible that the "tree of knowledge" represented the point when man became aware of his existence? I.E. At that point, he became man, and not just an animal living for his animal existence (food, procreation, shelter).. But, once we "knew" that we were alive and were able to make choices for our own existence, we could feel "happy, sad, anger, etc...".. And, of course, we also knew that we would die some day... Just a thought..
